1. Bacterial viruses targeting multi-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli
Sammanfattning : The global increase in antibiotic resistance levels in bacteria is a growing concern to our society and highlights the need for alternative strategies to combat bacterial infections. Bacterial viruses (phages) are the natural predators of bacteria and are as diverse as their hosts, but our understanding of them is limited. LÄS MER
2. Towards novel applications for biomolecular interactions at surfaces
Sammanfattning : The focus of this thesis has been to examine two new concepts involving the interaction of biological agents with synthetic material surfaces.The feasibility of deploying phage display techniques for the screening of materials in non-biological media was examined in two studies. LÄS MER
3. The biology of filamentous phage infection - implications for display technology
Sammanfattning : Phage display technology is a biotechnological tool that can be used to obtain molecules/reagents able to discriminate between target molecules. Reagents with such features can be used in diverse settings like biological chemistry, diagnostics and in therapeutic applications. LÄS MER
4. Selection and design in antibody phage display
Sammanfattning : The immune system is an important part of the physiology of higher organisms. In the immune system antibodies play a key role in neutralizing and clearing potentially lethal threats from the environment. The importance of antibodies in the immune system has made them come to the attention as a tool in chemistry and medicine. LÄS MER
5. Discovery of targets for tumor immunotherapy using phage display technology
Sammanfattning : This thesis has focused on the development of methods and their applications for the identification of antibodies reactive with tumor associated antigens (TAA). The phage display technology provides a powerful mean to generate antibodies potentially useful for tumor immunotherapy. LÄS MER
